When someone restricts your messages on Messenger, you won't be notified, but there will be noticeable clues. You can still send messages, but they'll stay in a 'sent' status and won't show read receipts. Essentially, your messages are not reaching the recipient's inbox anymore. To solve or avoid misunderstanding, consider reaching out through another platform or addressing the issue directly, if possible.
